Funimation released news on Wednesday that the Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood anime and the first two seasons of the Black Butler anime will return to its streaming service. Both anime can be viewed in English and in Japanese with English subtitles. Funimation noted that more content from Aniplex is “coming soon” to its service.
Funimation‘s home video and streaming rights for the 2009 Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood series and the Fullmetal Alchemist: The Movie – Conqueror of Shamballa film had expired in March 2016. The company’s rights for the 2003 Fullmetal Alchemist series had also expired in July 2016.
Funimation had released Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood on five DVD and Blu-ray Disc from 2010 to 2011, and re-released the series in a two-part collection on DVD and Blu-ray Disc in 2012. Similar to the 2003 Fullmetal Alchemist anime, the 2009 Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood anime is based on Hiromu Arakawa‘s original manga, though the latter hews closer to the manga’s story and ending.
Likewise, Funimation‘s license for the first Black Butler series had expired in May 2017, and its license for Black Butler II had expired in June 2018.
The Black Butler anime adapts Yana Toboso‘s manga with the series premiering in Japan back in 2008, and Black Butler II followed in 2010. Funimation has released all three television anime, the Black Butler II OVA project, the Black Butler: Book of Murder OVA, and the Black Butler: Book of the Atlantic anime film on DVD and Blu Ray.
